The Dillon Gang

Down to the wire now for the Summer picnic. here's some last minute info some people would find helpful: we are trying to get a spot at the north end of Crown Point. look for us near the water, up on the grass. hopefully under a huge tree with a lifeguard stand. or just to the left of it. In the case we don't get our spot: Use the Micro Cache. the micro cache is tucked in a green utility box at the north entrance to Crown Point. inside will be the coordinates of where we actually end up. you can park within 5 ft of the cache and not be seen grabbing it. Yes it is legal parking.

Good Luck with Groundspeak on getting your coins tracked there.Bobkat92 spent a lot of time and emails looking into that and the overall respones was no thanks. If i remember right they said they were tracking the usa coins cause it was all over the us and if they started tracking state coins then each state that has one would want it also. I totally understand where they are coming from. It was easier to set up a tracking site.. Check the CA geocoin site thread. Marky is the person kind and patient enough with us to maintain it. he also set it up. other than that.....LOVE the DESIGN! Far as i know if you want the geocaching.com logo on it you have to go with the generic one on the back of ours....oregon and other coins are "grandfathered" in with changing the logo. Plus its cheaper...you only have to pay to set up one side!

current total orders: 268 still have a couple of weeks to go. orders have slowed down a bit. expect them to pick up closer to the deadline.

just an update on whats new: hrtpmpfxr and i have laid out an evil geocourse....well maybe not that evil. about fifteen waypoints throughout crown point. there is a bonus prize in there somewhere. Flagman and Gecko Dad have been working on the Yrium memorial cache and may be placing it soon. We will be having a raffle to raise money to create a banner for the "group" to use at future events. we'll just pass it to whoever plans the next one. Talked with the lifeguard on duty during the week. he said if you are planning on bringing your motorhome.....be there early. the dirt lot filled up by 10am last weekend. i was there around 7am and it already had 3 in it. watch the cache page and this thread for more updates on friday morning. and yes...the eating contest will happen....looks like Fattboy make get his wish and eat a lot of hotdogs and perhaps a few licorice.

current total orders: 253 still have a couple of weeks to go. orders have slowed down a bit. expect them to pick up closer to the deadline.

Signs, Signs, Everywhere there's signs! The sign states no dogs on in the park until after 6pm during the summer months. However......we are not your parents or your guardians. it is up to you to decide whether or not to bring your 4 legged caching friend. i was down there this morning at 6:40am til about 7:30 and saw a couple of dogs on leashes down there. if anyone is an early riser, i could use some help setting up (claiming our area) saturday morning bout 5:45 - 6:00am (that's how early ya gotta be there to get the good spots.

currently we are at the halfway point to 500...250 in coin orders paid for. waiting patiently for new orders on the way. many people have said in the forum that they are ordering and there are orders on the way. we still have a couple of weeks before the deadline.

we are at the the halfway mark, 250 in collected orders.

currently have orders in for 208 geocoins all paid for. heading for the 500 mark quick..

as of today i have money in my hand for 158 geocoins......looking good and on pace to make our mark of 500. if we have more than 500 orders we will order as much as we need.

Just a note to fellow cachers throughout the world who collect geocoins. there currently is a new order being put in for Oregon and California geocoins. Check the Northwest forum for Oregon Geocoins or email Bazzle for information or check this link: Oregon Geocoin Site Check the West and Southwest forum for California Geocoins. or go to the one of the following links: California Geocoin Site Ca Geocoin Order Form

i'll attempt it, but bobkat92 had some problems with posting it elsewhere.

thanks for the congrats....I'll toot your horn for ya..... Hear ye Hear ye! Duscwe hit Number 800 on Geocaching Geometry. Excellent choice for number 800. Way to Goooooo!!!!

As of July 31, i have received monies for 95 geocoins. looks like we're doing well. have emails for approximately 150 more.

thanks marky for getting that done. really appreciate your help with maintaining the website and tracking the coins.

We have to have a minimum of 500 coins ordered to place a geocoin order for the price i quoted earlier......if we hit that mark earlier we made just put the order in early

The picnic planning is well under way. we have lined up a couple of fun games/competition and have prizes. we are looking for donations for a raffle or prizes for the games. if you know someone or a business that is willing to donate please drop Padregirl, Devhead or I a line. crowds didn't look too bad down there and there was still plenty of parking around 10am this last saturday. Donations we have so far: A RC Hummer car Items from Groundspeak

California Geocoin – The Second Coming Cost: $2.15 each no case just edged out the case vote...so they will be put in bags. Couple of things we need to work out. 1...last time we set up distribution sites throughout the state. Anyone interested in helping distribute the coins? looking for oregon, northern ca, any other area? 2. i would like to get the order form online in PDF format. don't have the program to do it. anyone out there that is willing to do this. i currently have it ready in microsoft word. thanks the dillon gang

Many thanks to the Wild Road and her son The Moe Dante Experience for helping me out in Ohio. They found a great place to show off to the world....also thanks to the Grey One for offering to help!

Okay......so how bout those Padres!!!

just getting the price set right now okay to send intentions on how many coins you might buy. with any luck i will have a form up tomorrow morning for ordering afte i tally the votes.

last chance for a vote on cases! we go with majority rules. you can either post here on the forum or send an email to cageocoin@earthlink.net just put in the subject line case or no case

I agree with this view. Even though Tucson Thompsen is crimminaly insane and continues to put out brain busting caches, i still have that need to solve them, however, there are a few i choose not to find...like hiking for 10miles in the desert. sometimes you find a cache and have a great experience and other times you just log the find and move on. I remember the great ones. yes!!!
